This is an undated portfolio photo supplied by Ice Model Management in Johannesburg of Reeva Steenkamp, during a photo shoot. Paralympic superstar Oscar Pistorius was charged Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013, with the murder of his girlfriend who was shot inside his home in South Africa, a stunning development in the life of a national hero known as the Blade Runner for his high-tech artificial legs. Reeva Steenkamp, a model who spoke out on Twitter against rape and abuse of women, was shot four times in the predawn hours in the home, in a gated community in the capital, Pretoria, police said.

File - In this Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013 file photo Olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius stands inside the court as a police officer looks on during his bail hearing at the magistrate court in Pretoria, South Africa. Pistorius will defend himself against a charge of premeditated murder in the slaying of his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, by arguing he believed he was acting lawfully and in self-denense when he fired four shots through a bathroom door in his home with his licensed 9mm handgun, criminal and firearm experts say, even though the Olympic athlete concedes now that he made a deadly error.
